Jack Jones trash-talked Browns fans while locking down Amari Cooper

New England Patriots rookie cornerback Jack Jones continued to show why he’s an emerging star in the league by shutting down Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper when the two players went head-to-head on Sunday.

On one play, Jones denied a deep ball to Cooper with tight coverage and great situational awareness, using the sideline to his advantage. The play elicited boos from Browns fans that believed a flag should have been thrown for pass interference.

Jones seemed to revel in the opportunity to chirp back at the fans after the play.

“Jack Jones just talked a whole monologue of [expletive] to nearby Browns fans after they wanted a flag on him for the second-down incompletion to Amari Cooper,” the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan tweeted.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little in-game trash talk, especially if you can back it up. And Jones has done so emphatically. He seems to be turning heads every week for football fans wondering how in the world 31 other teams let him slide to No. 121 overall in the 2022 NFL draft.

This rookie clearly isn’t afraid of the challenge, and like so many other high-end cornerbacks, he doesn’t mind telling you about it, either.
